I have about 10 guitars, although my list isn't nearly as impressive as that
My favourite is an '04 American Strat, my most recent is an Ibanez that looks and plays a bit like a PRS. Bought that one for 150 quid as a chuck about stage guitar Decent guitar considering, not at all like an Ibanez.

Genuine Gibson Les Paul which I acquired off my uncle when they first came out - don't play it much incase I break it...worth more than my life
Gibson accoustic
Fender Strat (made in the USA, not the Japan crap).

Most bands don't know names of chords, some have made a living outta playing just 4 chords through every song

@ Jessica

Just get onto Youtube and find some guitar lessons, easiest way these days...wish I had Youtube as a kid, would have made it much easier Just learn the Blues Scale and Pentatonic Scale, along with a few simple chords and you're away. As soon as you know how the simple chords sound, you'll deffo be able to source the same notes through playing power chords.

Legendary tune that fella But accoustic I thought was the easiest, you don't need an amp and the strings are quite friendly on your finger tips. But keep practicing and you eventually form a bit of hard skin tissue on the tips so they won't hurt.

Stick to Youtube, because at least then you can learn some of your favourite songs and see how they're done in front of you. Replay button rocks

Aye, its good to be able to play an instrument. I think I'm kinda old fashion when I say every kid should be able to play something musical, actually shows a bit of talent.

@ Jessica

Cool tune, but Blink always sucked live

Can't really say much about that like hun, being male But I see your point with how difficult the guitar is. I've been raised playing through brass bands and the guitar I picked up about 10 years ago. Its like my 4th instrument, but I enjoy it. Keep at it hun
